Factors interfering with analysis

Haemolysis

Haemolysis is caused by leakage of intracellular components of the erythrocytes such as phosphate, iron, potassium and especially haemoglobin due to a damage of the cell membrane. Haemoglobin causes a red colouration of serum/plasma which primarily interferes with the photometric testing done in clinical chemistry.

Lipaemia

Lipaemia refers to the milky/turbid discolouration of serum/plasma due to triglycerides. It is mostly caused by diet- or stress-related factors. Lipaemia can also occur as a result of endocrinological diseases like Cushing’s syndrome or hypothyroidism.

LABOKLIN has many years of experience with the implementation and development of genetic tests, particularly in the areas of genetic disorders, colour analysis, DNA profiles, ancestry and sex determination in birds. Our high quality standard is characterised particularly by the fact that all the results of our genetic studies are controlled in a second independent test run before they are shipped.
